And even further, only those exact same two seats are ‘taken’ for every single showing.

I thought for sure the after church showings tomorrow would be at least somewhat full, but nope.

    To be clear:
    The ‘x’ seats are ‘taken’
    The 🟦 seats are ‘available’

    ETA As many have pointed out, since these same two seats are blocked for every showing, I believe it’s because they’re broken; not sold.

      Why watch a movie, when you could get a random screed from the source himself at 3AM, which you can read in about 30sec?

        I find your laugh interesting. It’s like a small bit of the humor hit your brain early. So you let out the innitial ha. Then the full humor hit, and it became more of a full laugh.

        Kind of like when you’re holding in a fart at the thanksgiving day dinner table, and you let out a small bit of a fart, but then everyone looks at you, and the jig is up anyways, so you let out an ass ripping fart. Then grandma yells at you.

        Those books were always in Costco but I never saw their stacks get short. My guess is a couple organizations collaborating with O’Reilly buy copies of it in bulk and ship them straight to a landfill.

    Totally sold out. The most sold out movie ever. You remember Titan-ick? Had a naked girl in it and it didn’t sell as many tickets as this movie. People are saying this is the best movie there is. People are watching it 4 or 5 times and saying how good it is. I haven’t seen it. Maybe I’ll see it. Deenish de-sooza did the movie. She’s hot, have you seen her? Smokin hot. They wanted me to be in it. Was I I in it? Sure, maybe. Great movie. The best.

    Not that I think this isn’t hilarious, but to quote Trump’s own idiotic ramblings, “Nobody knows what an app is.” His redneck supporters that don’t trust such fancy lib’ral scams as “mail” and “locked drop boxes” sure aren’t going to understand using an app to book a seat in a movie theater.

      In my local theater you also have to ‘reserve’ a seat when you buy the ticket in person. Don’t ask me why.

        Reasonable reason: pre-2020 theaters would be packed sometimes and it’s helpful to have assigned seats. It resolves seating disputes and gets people to go straight to their seats. When I saw Avengers End Game (or maybe Infinity War), they had to have employees spotting empty seats for everyone walking in.

        Cynical theory: they’re logging seat selection trends and going to move to tiered pricing like airplane seats

        Assigned seating has been the norm here for decades. Makes things go a little more smoothly, especially when everyone expects it.

        So that someone ordering online doesn’t try to buy your seat. Obviously.

            Yes? “Hey wanna catch a movie?” “Sure, looks like the new Deadpool has a showing in like twenty minutes.” “Dope. You order the tickets, I’ll drive.”

            Why would they not apply the same system to all purchases? Either seats are reserved or they aren’t.

      I got curious. This showing is in about 90 minutes, in one of the reddest counties in the country.

      There is another show tonight that has about 10 tickets sold.

        If this is in one of the reddest counties, then that means NONE of this means anything, other than this movie did a terrible job advertising. Even to their base. Nobody knows the movie exists.

      This theater seating arangement pisses me off. Why did they remove 2 seats on all the rows behind the handicap seat row? And why are there 2 seats even further to the right, but X’d off in the back row??? If anything that just shows theres enough space for 4 more seats in EVERY row behind the handicaped row! Is that just empty floor space??? Why is that there??? Like a mini dance floor in the theater???

        If it’s like the theater near me the space is for the entrance and stairs. You would come in at the level with the handicapped seating and go down stairs to the rows in front of that and up stairs for the rows behind.

      Might be a thing like with Christian movies where a church buys out an entire show in one block in the expectation of their parishioners all going. It artificially inflates their box office numbers too, of course.

    Every theater has about 2 seats blocked off because they squeak too much and have been complained about. I’m blown away at the amount of religious content at theaters. There is tons. Some of it is basically like going to evangelical church. They’re not movies they’re sermons in theaters.

    This one is made by a D’Souza, the same name behind that movie about ballot boxes being stuffed in 2020. It’s nonsense.

      I’m sure you and everyone else understand, attendance isn’t proof of anything beyond box office numbers. Many theaters are empty that’s how they know to show something new.
